Typical socialist babble,

with liberal spending/socialist programs, out of touch urbanites telling =

Spare us!!!

We can never expect to have responsible government, other than =

With 38% of the popular vote (if I recall correctly) the =

Hello: Dec 6, 2013
I expect you both will have contrary ideas but, from where I =
stand, I=20
think your primary objectives in the next Federal election should be =
to to=20
displace the PC party, by coalition in word or in deed if necessary.
Consequently I think you both should focus on being critical of =
the=20
Harper Government, their policies not just senate scandals and the =
like, and=20
be less critical of each other.
Your coalition, if necessary, would be only a temporary union to =
get us=20
out of a difficult situation.
Whatever the composition may be of the next party(s) that =
displace the=20
Federal PC, I think your first priority should be to formulate and =
institute=20
a form of proportional representation that will make it possible for =
the=20
Federal Government to represent the aspirations of and be responsive =

diverse demands of the voting public.

For those of you who missed this Fifth Estate program last =
night, it is on again tonight at 9 pm on CBC Newsworld TV, right after =
The Nature of Things at 8 pm.
This is a very important program and very discouraging about our =
present federal government. Everyone needs to see this and react to it =
in some way, with letters to MPs and Ministers and Prime Minister, etc.
My only criticism of this program is that CBC elected not to =
show us the names of the principal characters in this episode.
Please check it out and tell everyone you know. It should be =
available also at cbc.ca/fifth/ or perhaps cbc.ca/fifthestate/ .
